49ers showing ‘legitimate interest’ in former Pro Bowler to replace released special teamer

The San Francisco 49ers shook up their special teams on Thursday, releasing long snapper Taybor Pepper after five seasons with the team.

Well, they could move quickly to find a replacement, as KRPC’s Aaron Wilson reported that the 49ers have ‘legitimate interest’ in former Houston Texans long snapper Jon Weeks to fill their recently-created hole.

Weeks, a 15-year pro, has spent his entire career with the Texans but is a free agent this offseason. He earned a Pro Bowl appearance back in 2015 and has never missed a game during his professional career.
